The time has come once again to rally the troops for the most action packed weekend of our entire year. HeroesCon 2013 is coming up fast and we can’t do it without the invaluable contributions of our volunteers.

If you’ve ever wanted to get involved with the machine behind the scenes at your favorite comic convention or are looking
for an opportunity to enhance your weekend, consider signing on to our team! Offer any time that you think you can spare and help us make this year’s HeroesCon the best yet.

In 2013, the room is going to be the largest we have ever had, so the number of volunteers we need has grown as well!

To volunteer for Heroes Convention 2013, just click the link below to fill out the volunteer form. If you have volunteered in the past or have already contacted us about volunteering this year, we will still need for you to fill out the form. This way we can have accurate contact info for everyone as well as confirmation that you will be joining us this year.

Once again Heroes has a special treat for our loyal reserve customers. As of now, you can come by the store and pick up tickets for an advanced screening of Ghost Rider 2: Spirit of Vengeance on Thursday, February 16th. Nicolas Cage returns as Johnny Blaze in this sequel to his 2007 release. What better way to check it out than a free screening?

Last minute opportunity! We have a few tickets for a screening of The Muppets, starring Jason Segel, Amy Adams and the whole Muppet crew. The screening is tomorrow, Thursday, November 17, so be sure to stop by the store and pick up your pass for two (2) before they all run off!

We’ve got another exciting addition to the Heroes free movie cavalcade! There are passes for a screening of The Debt on Tuesday the 30th in the store now. Based on the Israeli movie of the same name, the Debt is the story of the price we (secret agents) pay for our secrets. Starring Helen Mirren (RED) and Sam Worthington (Avatar).

Holy statistics guys! We’ve got passes to 50/50, Seth Rogan’s new movie with Joseph Gordon-Levitt about a twenty-somethings struggle with cancer. Sure to be a light hearted look at a serious disease.

Be sure to stop by the store for a pass. The show is on Tuesday, August 16th at 7:30 pm. Also, the passes this time are admit one (1) rather than the traditional two (2). Have a great weekend everybody!

To everybody that missed out on last night’s advanced screening of Fright Night, you have another chance to catch this remake of the 80’s favorite next Wednesday night. Just come by the store and pick up your free pass!

It’s that time again! San Diego Comic-Con is upon us and Shelton will be heading out first thing Wednesday morning to join the frenzy. He’s scouting for great guests for Heroes Convention’s big 30th anniversary show next year, June 22nd – 24th! If you have any sugestions for the boss be sure to let us know by e-mailing me here. If any of our loyal custies have any requests for comic-con exclusives they can e-mail me directly. Keep in mind that all requests are limited by availability and time constraints, so you might not get what you request even if you throw your hat in the ring first. But if you don’t ask you’ll never know! So be sure to send in any requests before Friday the 22nd and Shelton will do his best (assisted by the ever-gleeful Matt Knapik!) to fufill your wish lists. And don’t forget to wish our very own Bridgit “Good Luck!” while she’s at the convention promoting her web comic, Brother Nash.

Free Comic Book Day is tomorrow and the weather man has promised an absolutely gorgeous day! Heroes has a few last minute giveaways and incentives for all of you true believers out there. In local news, VisArt Video is offering a free movie rental to our first 30 customers that spend $15 dollars or more tomorrow. And the neighborhood fun doesn’t stop there! Jackalope Jack’s has informed us that anyone presenting their Heroes FCBD receipt will receive 20% off on their meal TOMORROW ONLY! Help support our local businesses while you enjoy a beautiful spring day filled with comics, art and fun! You can also pick up a pre-screening ticket for the new movie Priest, a TokyoPop production next Thursday or Bridesmaids, starring Kristen Wiig this Tuesday. These tickets are extremely limited so be sure to ask for them when you get to the register! Just say “I saw it on HeroesOnline!”
